First, many applications have a “print to file” capability already built in the program. How does one go about creating a PRN file for a given label? There are two ways. Finally with just the one PRN file, InkEstimator can calculate the number of printed labels possible with a single set of ink.

This program will also provide driver setting options that might suggest alternative settings that can save ink and lower costs. NeuraLabel offers a free InkEstimator application which will read the PRN and calculate ink usage and costs. The image you are printing is also contained in this file so the recipient of the file will be able to send it to a like model printer and see what you are printing.Īnother use of a PRN for the NeuraLabel 300x printer is to capture ink usage required for a given label. The PRN will tell the technician things like your label and page size, margins you may have set, as well as all other printer driver settings. In fact a support phone technician will almost always ask for one of these files if a printer problem you report isn’t readily solvable. PRN files are very useful if you have problems with your printer and are requesting technical support. A special program is required to read a PRN file. The format is written filename.prn, and the files may contain some readable parts, usually printer commands, along with some binary character non-readable parts, usually the image/text data. Therefor PRN files are printer model specific and will not work with other types of printers. A PRN file is simply a printer file that is created for a specific printer in a language that the printer understands.
